For the third time this cycle, Google is rolling out another bug fixer with Android 14 Beta 5.3 for all Pixel devices. With this patch, it does seem the stable release might be further off.
UPB5.230623.009 for Pixel phones, the Pixel Fold, and the Pixel Tablet contains nine fixes. The fact that Google has reverted to a single build is noteworthy. With another release likely to provide September’s security patch, this update is still using the August 2023 security patch.
